Mariella - Kate Nash

Sabía que mi adolescencia había sido tan maravillosa como la crisis del pepino español, pero lo que no sabía es que me habían hecho una canción :D Dedicada a todos los adolescentes monosilábicos y sus sufridos padres.

I'm heavy handed

To say the least

My mother thinks

I'll be an awful clutcher

'Cause I spill things from stirring 'em too quickly

I'm far too loud

It's like, as soon as I've got an opinion

It just has to come out

I laugh at stupid things

Just 'cause they tickle me

And

Sometimes I wish

Sometimes I wish I was like Mariella

She got some prittstick

And she glued her lips together

So she never had to speak

Never had to speak

Never had to speak

People used to say she's as quiet as a mouse

She just doesn't make a peep

She marched to her wardrobe

And threw away the colour

Because wearing black looks mysterious

But it didn't impress her mother

She wanted to dress her baby

In patterns and flowers

But Mariella just crossed her arms

And so she cried for hours

Mariella, Mariella

My pretty baby girl

Unglue your lips from being together and

And wear some pink and pearls

You can have your friends 'round

And they can stay for tea

Won't you just try to fit in please

Do this for me

But Mariella just crossed her arms

As she walked up the stairs

And she went into her bedroom

And she sat on her bed

And she looked in the mirror

And she thought to herself

"If I wanna play, I can play with me

If I wanna think, I'll think in my head"

At school, Mariella didn't have many friends

Yeah the girls they all looked at her

And they thought she was quite strange

And the boys they're not really into girls at that age

And the teachers, they thought Mariella was just going through a phase.

But Mariella just smiled as she skipped down the road

Because she knew all the secrets in her world

Yes, she always got the crossword puzzle right everyday

And she could do the alphabet backwards

Without making any mistakes

Mariella, Mariella

Pretty, pretty girl

Mariella, Mariella

Happy in her own little world

Happy in her own little world

And she said

Yeah I'm never ever ever ever ever ever

Ever ever ever ever ever ever ever

Yeah I'm never ever ever ever ever ever

Ever ever ever ever ever ever ever

Yeah I'm never ever ever ever ever ever

Ever ever ever ever ever ever ever

Gonna unglue my lips from being together

She said I'm never ever ever ever ever ever

Ever ever ever ever ever ever ever

Yeah I'm never ever ever ever ever ever

Ever ever ever ever ever ever ever

Ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever

Gonna unglue my lips from being together

Vikingos de ayer y hoy: Tom Hiddleston

Tom Hiddleston

Esta entrada estaba pensada para mucho antes. Se suponía que iba a tener bastante más contenido, pero estamos en una era en la que Tom Hiddleston (porque a él vamos a disfrutar hoy, señoras y señores) gobierna Internet. Por tanto me limitaré a dar unos cuantos datos de su carrera profesional, a derretirme con su voz leyendo poesía y a citar una de sus arengas a la vida más bonitas. Y ala. 

 Nacido en 1981 en Londres, estudió en Oxford y Cambridge, graduándose en el 2005 en la Royal Academy of Dramatic Art. Cuando estaba estudiando en Cambridge, la agencia Hamilton Handell lo fichó tras verlo actuar en una obra de teatro. En el 2007 participó en su primera película, Unrelated. También ha participado en the Deep Blue Sea, War Horse, Thor y los Vengadores, y en la televisión inglesa en series como Wallander, Cranford, o Suburban Shootout.

Never stop. Never stop fighting. Never stop dreaming. [...] For myself, for a long time... maybe I felt inauthentic or something, I felt like my voice wasn't worth hearing, and I think everyone's voice is worth hearing. So if you've got something to say, say it from the rooftops.

Y ya me voy... de verdad...

I think I am ready - Katy Perry

Tras entrar en mi blog después de eones sin pensar siquiera en él, estuve pensando en publicar un par de cosas que tengo pendientes. Pero tan poco inspirada como ando últimamente, cambié de idea. Y es entonces cuando el reproductor de grooveshark empezó a cantar con la voz de Katy Perry... I think I am ready, dice. Busco la letra y cuando llego a la parte de My mother always told me that you'd show up one day, ya estaba perdidamente enamorada de la canción. Lady Gudulina, esta canción es para ti. 

I'm used to opening my own doors and splitting the checks

He introduced me, was always just a friend

I bought a new dress, he never noticed

Always falling for these bad boys, such a challenge

I'm getting tired, of cleaning up after them

I think I'm ready, to be a woman

Oh love, I think I'm ready

Ready for it

You were such a surprise

An unexpected gift

Said I was pretty, and I believed it

Not really used to all this attention

Told myself I don't deserve you

And this is just a phase

Could I get used to, being loved the right way?

I wanna argue, but there is nothing to say

Oh love, I think I'm ready

Ready for it

Ready for it

Oh love, I think I'm ready

Cause you send me flowers, when there's no occasion

Yeah we talk for hours, you still wanna listen

Won't hold it against me if I just need you to hold me tonight

My mother always told me that you'd show up one day

So scared to feel this way but love, I think I'm ready

Ready for it

Ready for it

Oh love, I think I'm ready

Ready for it

Ready for it

Oh love, I think I'm ready
